Rahber Thariani defeats Eric Meier
6-2, 7-6(7-5)

Tough match with Eric "Lightning" Meier - got off to a good start in the first set and had Eric on the defensive using some good height and depth. Eric fought back in the 2nd by really amping up the velocity on his serve and started to run everything down. I started to try and hit closer to the lines but made more errors. Eric was winning about 2 free points per service game with his big time serve.

Tie- breaker I made sure to scrape everything back and put high deep balls in play and pulled it out! Eric is improving fast!
